| A Few Elementary Skills from the ROSS
Training System |
|
|
 |
Before learning to stand, learn to fall.
The ability to fall without breaking anything is necessary
if you take into consideration slippery conditions.
And in many cases, the ability to roll when hitting the
ground can transform the force of a throw from an opponent
into an effective weapon against it.
|
|
 |
| - |
When hitting the ground, don't fight against it
with your body, but rotate with it; |
| - |
Try to distribute the force of hitting the
ground to the largest areas of contact on the
body, reducing its energy of deformation —
contact should occur only on soft tissues of the
body;
|
| - |
Relax to reduce the speed of falling;
|
| - |
Always work as from the pelvis, all movements
should be from the pelvis;
|
| - |
Change your trajectory to the ground by moving
around an axis of rotation (the spine, the
shoulders, etc.);
|
| - |
Upon contact with the ground, exhale.
|
|
|
|
|
 |
| - |
The preservation and safety of an individual
from strong and sharp contact with the ground,
the floor etc.; |
| - |
The mobile retreat from strikes, from a beam of
light, or from a shot. It is usually accompanied
by sharply falling downwards with a subsequent
retreat to the side using a variety of tumbling
exercises; and
|
| - |
The preparation for sharp and long jumps in
various directions with a soft landing on the
ground, on an opponent, on a car etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
This method is effective against direct strikes to the
groin or to the stomach with a hand or a foot. In the
second drawing, it is visible that the force vector is
directed toward you in a vertical plane a little
downwards.

An opponent can grab you for a hand, for a wrist, for an
elbow, for a shoulder, or for the neck. The mechanics of
carrying out of the reception in all three cases is
identical, therefore we will consider capture cases for
a wrist when the opponent has grabbed your left hand
with the right hand.
We relax. We start to rotate (all force — from the
pelvis) the forearm clockwise, and when your elbow is
brought over the forearm of the opponent, take a step
with the left foot use a coupling of forces: first, the
elbow downward on a forearm of the opponent, second —
the wrist upwards from itself from capture. Exhale. Then
we counter: continue the movement of the forearm and
strike into the throat, or continuing twisting, lower
the left hand downwards outside of the right hand of the
opponent and complete a take down. |

This method of defense is applied against strikes to the
head. The usual instinctive movement is evasion by a
head and throwing a hand upwards. We will consider on an
example of a lateral strike by the right fist to the
head. The force vector goes on in a circle from left to
right in a plane parallel to the ground.
We relax. We lean the head back and to the right and
lift the left elbow. We start to rotate clockwise at the
pelvis, and the outer side of the left forearm meets the
attacking arm on a plane from below. Then we continue
the hand of the opponent on a force vector from left to
right by rotating the forearm around the forearm of the
opponent in a clockwise motion, where there is an axis
of rotation axis — the forearm of the opponent. Being
tightened at the rotation of the pelvis, we continue the
strike to the right downwards. Your forearm is thus
brought in a rotation at the left elbow over the forearm
of the opponent. Using the elbow and the forearm as a
lever, we twist the elbow downwards, or we beat on on
the elbow joint of the opponent, or we continue twisting
the elbow downwards and we continue the hand of the
opponent, lowering ourselves and directing the strike to
the right downwards (as though "grounding" it), i.e.
continuing a force vector and decomposing the opponent.
We exhale. In the final position of the hand in the top
framework, we control the forearms and hands of the
opponent from the outer side and counter.

When working with a staff, remember that the greatest
kinetic energy is at its free end.
| - |
If you are closer to the staff's beginning, step
forward to the hand of the opponent in «a dead
zone» strike;
|
| - |
If you are at the staff's end, step away or lean
away from the strike;
and |
| - |
When you are at the staff's middle, we will
consider in detail below.
|
The strike goes from left to right and the force vector
is directed toward you at belt level, at a shoulder, or
at the head in a plane parallel to the ground. Relax.
Your instinctive movement in combat will be step back
and to the right to avoid the staff, and your hand will
reflexively move to the staff with the intention of
connecting with it. Let's follow that instinct! We will
take a defensive stance: step back and to the right in a
circle in the direction of the force vector.
Simultaneously the outer side of the right palm will
meet the staff. We follow it along the plane of the
strike by a back and forth motion of the right hand to
the right on a tangent to the back surface of the right
shoulder. The entire time, the hand is pressed to the
body, and the shoulder is twisted counter-clockwise.
Thus, the scenario is twisted counter-clockwise, and we
lower our weight under the blow to the left,
transferring body weight to the left foot, then
unloading it and lifting the right foot on its tows. The
head is lowered downwards under the right shoulder.
Exhale. Further, we continue rotating the shoulders. The
wave of rotation of the right hand passes on to the left
and transfers the point of contact of a staff with a
body to the left shoulder. The shoulders converge as
much as possible and the head is lowered downwards.
Exhale.
